TEENAGERS AND THEIR WORKING POTENTIALS

Why is the life of teenagers just restricted in the confined walls of facebook chats, hustling bustling gossips of who-is-going-out-with-whom, occupying corner seats of Mocha, loitering around in GK etc.? Are these really a necessary part of their lives? In fact do they REALLY NEED them for their sustenance? On one side the parents want their ward to touch the sky and on the other side the kid wants to dig a hole for himself in the ground leaving a letter outside reading “No one could understand me”. Gosh! Where are we heading towards?

Is it that ghastly to contribute from a very young age to the household income? Is it really that awful when teens start polishing their skills from a very early age? Is it really that appalling if they rather than going towards Costa Coffee, sit back and do a part time job? Questions are endless but answers are very few…

Parents do play a very crucial role in this decision especially by repeating “Your academic performance is ultimate”. Why guys, why are we continuously pushing the kids towards a rat race which won’t lead them anywhere. Another question that comes into sight is whether both the things can be administered simultaneously and the answer is why not? Just remember “Don’t count every hour in the day, make every hour in the day count.” And things will surely turn towards betterment.

I consent that Teens have to realize that their primary job is to get good education, and it's the parents' job to see that their teens understand this. But if they themselves rather than defining those constricted walls of education, help the kids in their development process that too in such a modern era; it can escort to much improved results.

Cutting people off isn’t strength—It is a trauma response

Your ability to cut people off and self-isolate is not a skill you should be proud of—It is a trauma response Summary Cutting people off and self-isolating may feel like a protective shield, but it is often rooted in unresolved or unhealed trauma and an inability to depend on others. While these behaviors seem like self-preservation, they end up reinforcing isolation and blocking meaningful connections. Confronting these patterns, seeking therapy, and nurturing supportive relationships can help break this unhealthy cycle. Plus, a simple act like planting a jasmine plant can symbolise the start of your journey towards emotional healing. Why do we cut people off and isolate? If you’re someone who prides themselves on “cutting people off” or keeping a tight circle, you might believe it’s a skill—a way to protect yourself from betrayal, hurt, or unnecessary drama. I get it. I’ve been there, too. But here’s the thing: this ability to isolate yourself is not as empowering as it may seem. In...

Does India need communal parties?

I think, it was Tan's post on this blog itself, Republic Day Event, where this question was raised. My answer. YES. we need communal parties even in Independent, Secular India. Now let me take you, back to events before 1947. When India was a colony of the British Empire. The congress party, in its attempt to gain momentum for the independence movement, heavily used Hinduism, an example of which is the famous Ganesh Utsav held in Mumbai every year. Who complains? No one. But at that time, due to various policies of the congress, Muslims started feeling alienated. Jinnah, in these times, got stubborn over the need of Pakistan and he did find a lot of supporters. Congress, up till late 1940's never got bothered by it. And why should we? Who complains? No one. But there were repercussions. The way people were butchered and slaughtered during that brief time when India got partitioned, was even worse than a civil war scenario. All in the name of religion. And there indeed was cr...
